    oh come the fuck off it, OpenAI’s marketing presents sora as exactly a magic automate entire movie clip button. here’s OpenAI marketing the stupid thing as a world simulator which is fucking laughable if it can’t maintain even basic consistency. here’s an analysis of how disappointing sora actually is

    tonight’s promptfans are fucking boring and I’m cranky from openai’s shitty sora page crashing my browser so I guess all you folks doing free marketing for Sam Altman can fuck off now

      also:

      The results stands to appear technologically very impressive. This kind of thing was perceived as never to be possible and improves quickly.

      No cameras, no physical shooting, no actors. Just a few creatives and something to compute.

      like @gnomicutterance@hachyderm.io I am begging generative AI idiots to realize how out of touch “no cameras, no physical shooting, no actors” is as a supposed milestone when it applies equally well to Xavier: Renegade Angel… except Xavier looked fucked up on purpose

          Tbh I find both acceptable, and not solely because I thought of the one. Current working mental taxonomy:

          Fans: the internet weird-nerds choosing to be bodyshields for this shit absent any other reason whatsoever

          Fondlers: those that write the thonkpieces as demonstrated elsethread (the infosec panic one)

      No it doesn’t, ive read the available documents its a work in progress tech demo being made available to industry experts for the goal of gaining feedback.

      Your interpretation on the “as a simulation paper” feels to me (and yes that is subjective) as a lack of reading comprehension if you analyze what is actually all being stated.

      “Our results suggest that scaling video generation models is a promising path towards building general purpose simulators of the physical world.“

      “Promised path” does not imply the current state is capable of creating or based on a simulation, it also does not imply it can do this without additional components playing along, neither is it proof that it will be 100% feasible.

      If this was a journalist piece id agree that the title was clickbait but this a tech company doing a tech paper for something that there not even turning into a product yet. (and when they do it be a dumb down chatgpt feature because shits expensive to run in full).

      I don’t even care about openai its just another silicon valley money cult but i have a fascination for everything computer science and i can read the small print of a tech paper.

      Whats being performed is revolutionary (across the field) but people need to chill out thinking they will see ai doing anything significant on its own for a few more years.
